Police confessed to killing my son, says father seeking justice

Everyone, especially friends of 19-year-old Lotachukwu Ezeudu, may have come to terms with his disappearance seven years ago and moved on with their lives, but the missing teenager’s family is yet to have a closure. 

This is why, exactly seven years after Lotachukwu, a 200-level undergraduate disappeared into thin air, his father, Bona Ezeudu is praying the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, to reopen the case of his disappearance and probe the officer alleged to be connected to his disappearance.
Bona said that the police officer, Sam Chukwu, was a Divisional Police Officer (DPO) when he allegedly kidnapped his son, but now promoted to Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP). Ezendu said it was saddening that the Police Service Commission (PSC) and the top hierarchy of the Nigeria Police Force could even consider promoting a policeman undergoing scrutiny and declared wanted by a competent court of law.
Ezendu said that Lota, as Lotachukwu was fondly called, was a second year Accountancy student, University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus (UNN), when he suddenly disappeared in September 26, 2009. Recollecting the genesis of his son’s disappearance, Bona said: “On September 26, 2009, Lotachukwu, left home and headed for the residence of Chukwu, then a DPO. Since then, we’ve not seen him again. Instead, we received a telephone call that Lota had been kidnapped-and ransom demanded.”https://newtelegraphonline.com/police-confessed-killing-son-says-father-seeking-justice/
